Brick patterns on shells using geodesic coordinates
Paper i proceeding, 2017

We present two separate strategies for generating brick patterns on free form shells and vaults using geodesic coordinates. The brickwork is specified by a surface on which there is a geodesic coordinate system satisfying the condition for a constant distance between bed joints. The first strategy integrates the generation of the geodesic coordinates in a form finding procedure derived from the geometrical and mechanical properties of a shell. The geometric and structural equations are solved using dynamic relaxation. The second strategy can be applied on an arbitrary surface separating the form
